Just weeks before the beginning of the second session on the important Synod on Synodality, Pope Francis addressed the issue when speaking to Jesuit clergy during his recent visit to Southeast Asia and Oceania earlier in September. At the time, little if anything about what the Pope had specifically said about Synodality made it into the media and public realm.
But further comments have now been published this week in Italian media La Civiltà Cattolica, and which provide more context and insight into the Pope’s vision of the Church in the future and his thinking in relation to the synod taking place in Rome on 2-27 October.
